    ****2/15/22 VIDEO UPDATE**** - Hey y'all! We've had a TON of people asking about our algae project from this video and how it's doing currently, so we wanted to give y'all an update! At the time of filming this video, we were really excited (obviously!)
    Everything was going wonderfully with our algae, then we transferred the cultures into new jugs, switched to new air pumps and sadly, the air pumps caused half of them to die from too much agitation... we also had a few new types of algae's show up in our batches, which rendered them unsafe as no longer had a monoculture...
    Luckily, we still have all of our supplies and are very eager to get back to Cultivating Algae again soon! It was so much fun learning about it and experimenting with new living organisms in our grow-space.

      Sorry to hear that went down like that!
      Just FYI, water chlorination has been steadily moving on to using chloramine instead, which to my knowledge doesn't just evaporate out like chlorine does. Luckily I think aquarium water conditioner should deal with this without harming the algae.
      Chances are if you need something for one of these setups, looking through the aquarium hobby stuff might help, perhaps airstones or bubblers, something along those lines, they may get clogged, but they'll do two things, add weight so that it goes to the bottom, and also create finer bubbles. The area where the bubbles meet the water is where you get movement, more surface area = more movement. I also have to wonder if the larger bubbles are too aggressive for them?
      Oh another idea I just had, I've seen chemistry channels use these magnetically powered stir bars, you could potentially use one of those to aid in moving things around, it should pull things to the bottom and circulate if you can get a vortex going, relies on a magnetic base though, maybe something you can attach to one side? Should pull in plenty of air on it's own.
      Some other thoughts, lights on the sides, and or reflective tents/mats, would probably help your yield, make sure all that light stays where it needs to be rather than just bleeding out into the room.
      Watching your video gives me a ton of ideas but I don't wanna blab about them all here haha. I look forward to getting a new place where I can perform experiments like this, I have my own unique use for algae that I want to try out.
      Thanks for all the awesome tips and info I gained from this!

    Your infectious enthusiasm made my day. You are my favorite teacher. As a note of interest, our church presented a "prepared event" for our members and our family's assignment was to talk about food preparedness. Our microgreens and our solar oven got quite a bit of attention. We invited people to snack right from the growing trays and they liked them!!! They even ate the roots they pulled out of the tray. I think we've got something here. But you already know that. Thanks so much for enriching our lives.

    I've been doing it for a few years, stowaway is a cool movie to bring awareness to bio-reactors and bio-CO2 scrubbing. Did research many moons ago about using it as food and a way to increase available O2 in house and it came in handy during the pandemic. I split intake air with a ozone generator then pumped it through a activated carbon bed then through spirulina cultures to help keep our apartment air healthy. It also acted as a humidifier.

    I used to dissolve Sodium Carbonate for my Reef/Coral aquariums. Warming the water when dissolving it helps a lot to speed up the process! Just warm up the couple of litters where you dissolve it, then mix it with the rest of the colder water. I can't wait to see the filtering and drying process to extract that Spirulina. I hope everything goes well!!!

  • @Lemonz1989

    You should use a cover slip/glass on top of the water (the small glass squares). It will keep the sample still (less shaky image), and it will protect the lense from touching the specimen. Remember to use the "brake" or stopper on your microscope as well, if it has one, so you don't end up pushing the lense into the slide and break it when focusing. :)
    I'm excited to see follow up videos. :)

  • @eugenejackson1358

    add a canister of CO2 to your bubbler mixture and you can up the carbonic acid (lower pH) levels. this stimulates growth and allows you to maintain the desired pH. if you put it in a pressurized system you can increase the carrying capacity of the system aswell by increasing the cabon saturation per volume.
    those carboys would pressurize nicely.

      Sir, I have some questions and small query regarding growing in house.
      1) what light(wavelength and intensity) should be use if there no sunlight?
      2) If setup was done in garden but due to clouds if there is not sufficient sunlight is there then in that case which light (wavelength and intensity) should be used?
      3). Which minerals should be specifically added from point of buisness and how to increase the pH ?
      Please answer the question.

    To get the tube to stay on the bottom, you can also use stainless steel welding rod which is 36" long and get at least 0.065" in diameter so when you bend it it maintains its shape without the air tube bending it. Insert it into the tube which will allow you to bend the tube and maintain it's shape so you can direct it to the bottom and put a hook at the top to hold it in place at the bottle opening

    You may already know, but when it comes to opaque surfaces and screen material, the slightest bit of opaque and the even the largest holes in a screen, still block a significant amount of light or air flow or liquid flow.
    Of course light manufacturers use opaque plastic or opaque glass, to more evenly distribute the light, at the expense of a portion of the light being absorbed behind the plastic/glass, which makes the light appear dimmer.
    So for growing algae, opaque plastic would more evenly distribute the light, which may reduce hot-spots and get a more consistent temperature and more even light exposure, but at the expense of getting a significantly lower amount of light.
    When you are dealing with direct sunlight, opaque white plastic helps block some of the light and heat and because the sunlight is soo intense, it is fine.
    However, when you are using low wattage artificial lights, the amount of light that is blocked is very significant.
    You can take a LED light with an opaque white plastic lens cover and cut or pry off the plastic lens, and you will notice a HUGE difference in light output. However, you will also make it likely dangerous, since the live electric circuit board is now exposed and could be lethal or start a fire, so I don't recommend it for anything other than testing for educational purposes.

    There is a special type of microscope slide called a hemocytometer, it's normally used for manually counting blood cell concentrations, but people use them for counting all kinds of things. It might help you count algae concentrations and give you a good idea of grow rates under certain conditions. They aren't expensive, so if it turns out the spirulina is too large, well you probably only lost like $20 for the slides.

    Problems:
    1. Spirulina from natural sources (ponds) has been found to contain toxic microcistins and heavy metals. The solution is to have your product analyzed by a lab, and then use that in your advertising.
    2. Spirulina contains a vitamin B12 analogue which unfortunately displaces real B12 in the body, causing a potentially serious deficiency (look up "pernicious anemia"). I haven't read a solution for this yet, but my suggestion is to use spirulina for the protein component of animal feed. You could feed it to chickens, rabbits, tilapia, etc.

    Have you been using an air filter for the air pumps? It's safer.

    Is the ocean solution food grade? I also plan to grow microalgae (Chlorella) at home but I am not able to find food grade growth media for my microalgae.

      It's OMRI listed. I grew and ate a lot of microgreens with it. I only stopped using it because I was throwing the scrap into my worm bin and the salts aren't good for worms

    I'm curious about the energy costs if its not your secret but then again there are papers published about this. With your setup do you need more or less than 160 kwH to grow 1KG of biomass?

    Which type of material can be used for the drum or jar for growing spirulina?

    • @OnTheGrow
      @OnTheGrow  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      In our personal experience, we found that using glass seemed to work a lot better then using food grade plastic materials. However, this is something that we'd need to do more testing on before giving a solid answer.

    Questions: 1) have a link for the microscope? 2) how will you sell the spirulina?
